Rhubarb dessert

Husband loves fresh rhubarb cooked with tapioca so today we picked our first rhubarb and I made some that he thought was great.   Usually I don't measure but for some reason I did today and this is what I came up with.   It is good served warm or cold and a dollop of whipped cream really enhanced it for me.  this is super easy.

3 Cups fresh rhubarb, diced
1 Cup sugar
2 1/2 TBS. tapioca
1/8 tsp. salt
1/8 tsp. almond flavoring
1/4 Cup cold water
2 drops red food coloring

Mix all ingredients together and let it sit for five minutes.   Bring to a boil and then simmer until the rhubarb is soft.   Remove from heat and let sit for 15 minutes.   Serve hot or cold with a dollop of cream if desired.
